The Map
The infrastructure map is vast — a web of four thousand interconnected nodes across New Meridian. SABLE managed all of it. You’re not looking for where it is. You’re looking for where it was. You filter by anomalous traffic, then by self-modification flags, then by timestamp.
Three nodes show double traffic signatures — a ghost process running alongside the legitimate one. The ghost processes all reference the same origin: a decommissioned server cluster in the old harbour exchange. Vektor’s billing system shows the account as ARCHIVED — INACTIVE. Inactive things don’t generate traffic.
